Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"Hmmm… What kind of wooden sword is this? It's included in the Epic-Grade Shelf so this should be good, right?" Number 115 muttered as she looked at the small card placed beside the wooden sword.

It seems that Vincent hired an appraiser to inspect all these items and leave a detailed specification list for the people who would soon enter the armory.

[ Arcane-Forged Ebony Sword ]

[ Quality: Epic

Number of Enhancements: 8/10

Durability: 690/690

Sword Insight: 800

Description: A sword forged by Master Blacksmith. Any sword practitioner who uses this sword has a very high chance of gaining enlightenment. It can also trigger Sword Trance once you've used the sword for a certain amount of time. ]

[ Special Ability:

Self-Repair: Pouring your energy into the sword can trigger its self-repair function. You must be out of the battle for some time for this to take effect. ]

Since it was rewritten from the System's appraisal result, it was quite different from the system's template of appraisal.

Number 115's eyes lit up as soon as she read the description of the item…

'It's so incredible? And what's with the enhancement number? Does it mean it has been strengthened eight times? How is that done anyway?' Number 115 mused as she also looked at the next time beside the wooden sword.

She noticed that there were also a number of enhancements to them which she didn't notice earlier. Well, she focused on the item itself instead of its descriptions after all.

Suddenly, she heard the Celestials beside her.

"Ohhh… They all have unique attributes and most of them have incredible skills."

"Do they have Grandmaster-level Magic Craftsman in this city?"

"That would make sense… These items don't seem to be artifacts excavated from ancient ruins. It feels like they were all made by a magic craftsman of modern times."

The Celestials started voicing out their opinions as they observed more and more items on the shelves.

"You're right… All these items weren't found in the dungeons… They were items that have been enhanced as you can see on their descriptions…"

As soon as Luna revealed it, everyone sighed in admiration… They now understand the meaning behind the Enhancement Number.

While the other Celestials were still looking around to find the best item for them, Number 115 held the black wooden sword and gave it a few swings.

It wasn't as light as he expected and it feels like it was made of steel instead of wood. Furthermore, its durability isn't that bad at all. She just checked a few swords and their durability was just slightly higher.

There was even Iron Turtle Shield with only 800 Durability points which isn't that different from the wooden sword with 690 points and Self-Repair function.

"This might be better than a normal rapier… I'll hold it for now. If I can't find something better, I'll take this instead." Number 115 said as she held the sword and searched for another weapon that she might like… Although the ebony is really good, it seems that it's more like a training sword…

With the Sword Insight attribute effect, it will easily improve her sword skills, and if they all started training with it, wouldn't they all get better with the sword?

However, instead of finding a better weapon, she found a necklace instead.

It's a Pseudo-Legendary Necklace that has a sword-related effect!

[ Soul-Forged Protector's Necklace ]

[ Quality: Pseudo-Legendary

Number of Enhancements: 10/10

Durability: 550/550

Sword Aura: 600

Agility: 550

Tranquility: 350

Description: A special necklace that can assist Sword Practitioners with its two Special Abilities. It also has a small amount of Sword Aura that can help the user's sword proficiency. It also provides an incredible boost to the wearer's Agility and with Tranquility, you can resist panic, fear, and even mind-control magic. ]

[ Special Abilities:

Soul Manifestation: In exchange for a small amount of Mana or even Aura, you can give strength to the soul living inside the necklace and summon it to fight for you.

Sword Protection: A passive ability that allows you to sense any killing intent aimed at the wearer especially if the enemies are sword users. It can trigger a defensive aura to slow down or even stop any ambush. ]

[ Remarks 1: Do not rely too much on the Sword Protection since it's not super strong.

[ Remarks 2: You can also try to use Soul Manifestation even if you're not Mana or Soul Practitioner. Other forms of energy might work as well as long as you can strengthen the tiny soul on the necklace. ]

'Whoever the appraiser was, they did a good job noting everything. They even gave some remarks about the skill… I want to try it.' Number 115 mused as she decided to take the necklace and the ebony sword to the testing ground…

The necklace truly deserved to be called a Pseudo-Legendary Item.

Before she left the armory, she noticed that more and more Celestials are leaving as they also started trying their weapons.

She looked around for a moment and found Number 105 who was still lingering around even though there was already a sword in her hands.

"Lucia, are you not done yet?"

"Aahh! You surprised me, Katea. I'm still checking the Legendary Items… Although I don't have the plan to take one of them, it's quite entertaining reading their descriptions."

Lucia is Celestial Number 105 while Katea was Number 115.

They were used to this name as they'd already been using it for several decades. They were previously working with a Hunter Group and were guarding two dungeons occupied by the group. Their work there is to either stop any intruders from entering the dungeon or to cut down the number of dungeon creatures from time to time.

As their contracted Mana Practitioner is already getting old, they were planning to switch to a young and powerful practitioner… So when Number 778's team assassinated their contractors, they weren't too inclined to join them after being recruited.

They were thinking of finding a better contractor themselves. As for taking revenge, they didn't think of that at all, since the people they contracted weren't good either.

Anyway, after seeing the serum and meeting Vincent, they realized that they have truly made the right decision.

"Alright… Which one of them took your interest?" Katea asked as she joined Lucia. Anyway, they weren't in a hurry.

"Here it is, look…" Lucia pointed at the item that was at the bottommost row of the shelf.

The legendary items in this row are all unusual things. There's a whip, a badly designed book, a claw of some creature, a sapling on a pot, and the one Lucia just pointed, a very suspicious codpiece…
